Let's invite technical and professional obstetricians and gynecology doctors to provide a comprehensive explanation of the 7 common problems in clinical medicine!
Can pregnant mothers have a married life? The top 7 Q A must know and cannot!
Dr. Zeng Yuwen, a gynecologist and obstetrician, stated that he often encounters many couples in clinical medical clinics. Is it necessary to terminate all sexual experiences during pregnancy to prevent harm to the health of the child in the womb? In fact, from the perspective of obstetricians and gynecology doctors, unless a pregnant mother has a unique situation during pregnancy, she can still maintain a marital relationship with an elderly husband without the need for extreme abstinence.
If you want to have sex during pregnancy, you must pay attention to this kind of thing!
However, it is firmly believed that even so, there must still be many people who have doubts about what constitutes a unique situation? What are the key points to pay attention to during pregnancy when engaging in sexual activity? In view of this, Dr. Zeng Yuwen is very standard for parents to sort out the following seven common clinical and medical Q&As of pregnancy sexual life, in order to explain to everyone:
Q1/What physical fitness should individuals prevent sexual activity during pregnancy?
Women who had miscarriages, premature birth records and twins in the past are not recommended to engage in casual sex life during pregnancy because of their sensitive physical quality and the difficulty of unstable zygote implantation; It is best to consult a doctor's advice during routine pregnancy testing to determine if there are any potential risks, which is more reliable.
In addition, if a pregnant mother is found to have a short cervix, incomplete cervical locking, or difficulty with placenta previa after examination. Alternatively, for women who have experienced vaginal bleeding during pregnancy or even have a probability of early embryo detachment, it is recommended to follow the doctor's instructions to properly raise the fetus and prevent couples from living together.

Q2/After 3 months of pregnancy, can one engage in sexual activity?
In fact, there is currently no conclusion in the medical community that the term 'marital life' cannot exist until the third month of pregnancy. Generally speaking, because some women are prone to unstable implantation of zygote in the first three months of pregnancy. Furthermore, during this stage, the mother's discomfort and vomiting reactions are usually severe, making it very easy for the human body to feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, it is only in the market that those who are less than 12 weeks pregnant are not recommended to engage in sexual activity. But if the pregnant mother's health condition is stable and there are no abnormal bleeding symptoms, as well as the numerous discomfort problems mentioned in the previous question, there is no life-threatening risk of having a proper marriage relationship with her partner in the first three months.
Q3/Does sexual pleasure promote uterine contractions and premature birth?
Dr. Zeng Yuwen mentioned that clinical medical clinics often encounter many pregnant mothers asking questions, mentioning that after sexual activity, the abdomen seems to become more and more rigid. The concern is that the uterus will be closed due to sexual pleasure and impulses, and whether it will harm the fetus and baby? In fact, it is a normal transient condition, and the frequency and level of contractions caused by sexual pleasure are generally not too strong or prolonged; If a woman does not have a history of premature birth or related problems with the uterus, and there is no bleeding or rupture of amniotic fluid, there is no need to worry too much.
Q4/During pregnancy, there is no need to worry about contraceptive measures, can you avoid wearing condoms?
Although women do not need to worry about contraceptive measures during pregnancy, due to low immunity and weak resistance during pregnancy, they are more likely to develop urinary tract infections or vaginitis. In addition, the prostacyclin produced during the night will cause uterine contractions. Therefore, considering environmental hygiene considerations, preventing bacterial invasion, and preventing uterine contractions caused by prostaglandins in semen, it is recommended that pregnant mothers use condoms when engaging in sexual activity.
Based on environmental hygiene considerations, prevention of bacterial invasion, and prevention of uterine contractions caused by prostaglandins in semen, it is recommended that pregnant mothers use condoms when engaging in sexual activity.
Q5/Pregnant mothers should pay more attention to daily cleaning when engaging in sexual activity? What should I do?
Dr. Zeng Yuwen stated that as mentioned, it is more important to prevent bacterial infections due to the weakened immune system of pregnant mothers. In fact, once it causes inflammation and sensation in vagina/urinary system, it is not only easy to cause pain and discomfort; There are even opportunities to accelerate uterine contractions, rupture of amniotic fluid, and premature infants.
Moreover, due to pregnancy, the urethral canal may also increase, giving the bacteria a chance to penetrate the bladder and urethral canal all the way to kidney function, increasing the risk of developing subacute acute pyelonephritis. The serious consequences cannot be underestimated! Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of infection difficulties, whether it is pregnant mothers or general women before or after sexual activity, it is proposed to implement the following measures:
Before engaging in sexual activity, it is best for both parties to take a shower, clean up the foundation, and drink a glass of plain water beforehand. Especially, women should supplement their hydration appropriately to help reduce the risk of sexual activity.
After Sexual Activity: It is recommended that women should go to the bathroom as soon as possible, urinate, and properly clear the external genitalia after sexual activity. But it should be noted that in plain terms, cleaning does not refer to vaginal lavage. In fact, women's vagina has a unique lactic acid bacteria beverage microbiota that helps its pH display acidity. If left unchecked, it may damage the balance of women's vaginal microbiota. Therefore, when cleaning, simply peel off the labia minora and clean the external genitalia. If you want to use cleaning tools, it is recommended to select acidic components with relatively low pH values, close to 3.5~4.5, and only clean the external genitalia.
Clinical medicine suggests that if a pregnant mother experiences frequent urination and symptoms such as burning sensation during urination or inability to urinate, she needs to be aware of the possibility of urinary tract infection. It is recommended to avoid patience and actively seek medical attention.
Q6/To prevent vaginal and urinary tract infections during pregnancy, what symptoms should mothers pay attention to?
Clinical medicine suggests that if a pregnant mother experiences frequent urination and symptoms such as burning sensation during urination or inability to urinate, she needs to be aware of the possibility of urinary tract infection. It is recommended to avoid patience and actively seek medical attention. In addition, it is particularly important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent chronic nephritis in the upper part of the body if, in addition to the aforementioned symptoms, you suddenly notice pain, slight burning, high fever on one side of the abdomen, and cloudy urine.
Q7/Can antibiotic harm the physical and mental health of fetus and baby? Can doctors set up medication that can be taken comfortably?
In fact, there are many types of antibiotic for taking antibiotic, but only a small number of antibiotic in clinical medicine will cause harm to the fetus and baby. Therefore, if the pregnant mother informs the doctor during the current stage of pregnancy at the time of seeking medical attention, the doctor will naturally set up suitable drugs, and mothers do not need to worry too much.
In fact, if the pregnant mother has problems with urinary system and vaginitis, she will not take medicine because of worry. Not only are there concerns about improving premature infants and breaking amniotic fluid, but they will also be affected by pelvic inflammation, which may inadvertently affect the baby's physical and mental health.
In addition to the key points and common problems mentioned above, Dr. Zeng Yuwen also mentioned that whether one can engage in sexual activity during pregnancy actually depends on whether the mother herself can accept it. If expectant mothers are indeed quite tired and easily feel back pain and fatigue during pregnancy, it is suggested that their partner should compromise in multiple ways and not have to make do with it.
